Some excerpts below: https://justthenews.com/accountabil...slator-exonerated-don-jr#.XoceptxMkds.twitter Mueller’s hidden evidence: Translator exonerated Don Jr. in Trump Tower meeting Infamous meeting did not focus on Clinton dirt but on Magnitsky Act, newly released FBI memos show. Despite learning the translator's information on July 12, 2017, just a few days after the media reported on the Trump Tower meeting, the FBI would eventually suggest Donald Trump Jr. was lying and that the event could be seminal to Russian election collusion. Samochornov’s eyewitness account entirely debunks the media’s narrative, the FBI memos show. “Samochornov was not particularly fond of Donald Trump Jr., but stated Donald Trump Jr.’s account with Veselnitskya as portrayed in recent media report, was accurate,” according to the FBI 302 report on its interview of the translator. “Samachornov concurred with Donald Trump Jr.’s accounts of the meeting. He added ‘they’ were telling the truth.”
FISA court request names in FISA apps of the 29 the IG mentioned in its report. I wonder if all of them are Republicans and Obama's political opponents. That will be interesting.
Oh My, Interesting Ramifications – FISA Court Requires DOJ/FBI To Provide Names of Targets Within Corrupt Surveillance Applications… After a review of 29 FISA applications, from eight FBI field offices, the OIG informed the FBI and DOJ that none of the surveillance applications were compliant with the Woods procedures. Meaning zero applications had FBI evidence to support the validity of the claims within the FISA warrants. That’s a very big problem if those FISA warrants were used to gather evidence used to prosecute the 29 targets of the applications. In a FISC order released today [pdf here] presiding Judge James Boasberg is ordering the FBI to identify who those targets were; and asking the DOJ to explain what they did with the evidence gathered as a result of the fraudulently obtained FISA warrants. Big. If evidence obtained by execution of a fraudulently obtained warrant was used in the prosecution of any of those targets; there’s a possibility those cases will be reopened. Considering the twenty nine applications from the OIG go back to 2015, there’s a lot of potential for some downstream consequences not only for those 29 applications, but also for all FBI FISA applications with a similar level of neglect.
https://justthenews.com/accountabil...os-denied-trump-campaign#.Xo-tso1W7DM.twitter Withheld evidence: Papadopoulos told FBI informer Trump campaign wasn't involved in DNC hack 'It's illegal, you know,' Papadopoulos told informer in transcript withheld by agents seeking FISA warrants Multiple FBI applications seeking a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant targeting the Trump campaign failed to note Papadopoulos’s clear denial of any involvement in the DNC email hacks. When applying for a FISA warrant, or a warrant’s renewal, the FBI is required to submit all verified information as well as any evidence undermining agents' theory of the case. That would include denials, such as the one made in the Papadopoulos transcript. The FBI's now closed probe into alleged Trump-Russia collusion during the 2016 election is riddled with examples where exculpatory evidence and problems with the bureau's case were withheld from the judges who approved the warrants, the Justice Department inspector general has reported.
